Aye I thought that, it's daft.

If you're telling the parents of an 18 year old to keep knives away from him because he could hurt people, he should probably be sectioned.

There are probably literally millions of people who should be sectioned, but in reality there's about 50,000, and about 100,000 a year are assessed. What are the odds that most of those 50,000 are the ones who've already committed serious harm? Stable door etc.

How many of them have taken a knife into school and then told police he might use it if he became angry?

I mean, glaring state failures here.

Don't worry about it, we'll probably spend a couple of million across the country retraining social services/police and schools in young adult violent mental health and we'll or what we always do due to a lack of resources - divert it from other places in services, then there will be another very sad emotional news story about kids doing group suicide or something then they'll do the same for that and rinse repeat.

It really should just be chalked down to lack of funding and stuff is going to get through the gaps but instead we'll spend a fortune on it for not much result and neglect other areas, which is pretty much always the case.

Between SEN requirements/needs and stabby children, the whole education system is fucked.

At some point not having an issue is going to be the requirement for getting into grammar schools.

Rich? Doesn't mater.
Daddy on the board? Doesn't matter.
Not stabbed anyone and have a longer than 10 second attention span? Welcome aboard!

In other news, the mobile towers around us - which provide the majority of internet connections around here - were down for a long time yesterday (again).

Went to walk up to mine to see if anyone was working on it. The road was "full" of kids (to a certain value of kids -there's 4 houses on my 1 mile long road culminating in a small village). But it was very unusual - football, rugby, bikes.

Then I bumped into Ceridwen and asked "xbox down?" and she laughed and said yes.

Her youngest even volunteered to go into the forest with his dad to chainsaw up a couple of fallen trees...

Did you gather them all around you and launch into a monologue about voter ID?

As much as I'd love to @caLLous - I find it's a bit of a turn-off when I try to innapropriately touch them.

Or, maybe, it's because he spends 90% of his life off his fucking tits on ketamine.

Meh. Isn't that how most people have "interpreted" him anyway?

Weirdo, desperate to be liked, does stupid shit because he refuses to take his meds. That sort of thing.
